A solar hydrogen panel is a device for artificial photosynthesis that produces photohydrogen directly from sunlight and water vapor. It utilizes photocatalytic water splitting and thus bypasses the conversion losses of the classical solar–hydrogen energy cycle where solar power is first harvested with solar panels and only then converted to hydrogen with electrolysis plants.
